Alexander Zverev’s serve is at once among the most potent and also the most perplexing weapons in tennis. When it is working as it should, which is about 98% of the time, the German feels all but unbreakable. And in whatever time is left, it can all fall apart.Zverev, who was the No 3 seed last year, managed to succumb to Arthur Rinderknech in the first round, in a match that stretched to two days, despite hitting 76% of his first serves – the best strike-rate in the tournament – and winning all but three of 28 service games. “Dominant…

Fashion-inspired arrivals are not new in tennis, with Naomi Osaka recently dazzling crowds with her on-court outfits.The former world number one from Japan arrived for her opening match at SW19 in an elegant, full-length kimono – entirely white to adhere to the tournament’s rules.That was after the 28-year-old sparkled in a glittering gold tennis dress that resembled “the Eiffel Tower at night” at the French Open and a spectacular jellyfish-inspired outfit at January’s Australian Open.Novak Djokovic has also stepped up his fashion game at this year’s Wimbledon, although he stopped short of wearing a full suit and opted for a…
Racket repairs – while you waitWhile thousands of fans shuffle around the grounds and soak up Wimbledon’s familiar mood of British unflappability, behind the scenes there is a hive of activity to keep the show on the road. Nowhere more so than at the restringing facility, which processed a record 6,565 rackets at last year’s tournament – an average of nearly 500 per day. “The balls change slightly every year,” says Josh Sillick, on the stall run by the tournament’s official “restringing partner” Babolat. “If they get fluffier more quickly, then the players have to hit them harder, and heat…
